Amazons

From Arthur Ransome Wiki

The Amazons or Amazon Pirates are Nancy and Peggy Blackett. They are the owners of the Amazon dinghy. Though a very small crew, Nancy and Peggy are both very talented sailors, and have evidently made good use of their boat. They function as a typical crew: Nancy gives orders, Peggy follows them. Although Nancy often refers to her younger sister as a "galoot" or "chump-headed galoot", they are clearly quite close, and Nancy relies on Peggy as a crew member just as Peggy relies on Nancy as a captain. Though Nancy is the more outgoing of the two, Peggy is the more talkative, a habit which Nancy reprimands many times.

The Amazons are Eels, by the act becoming blood brothers and sisters.
